Abstract
An arrangement is provided for inter-thread communications. A first group of thread includes at least one thread. A thread from the first group buffers a request in a first buffer. A thread from a second group of thread retrieves the request buffered in the first buffer. The thread from the second group performs an operation based on the request and generates a response. The thread from the second group buffers the response in a second buffer. A thread from the first group of thread retrieves the response from the second buffer.
